CPA + CFP®
Coordinated advisory team
Founder
Luke Shoemaker, CPA
Luke Shoemaker, CPA is the owner of Shoemaker CPA, one of the few CPA firms in Virginia built around planning rather than compliance. He advises mass affluent and high-net-worth individuals, closely held businesses, and their owners on complex tax and financial decisions.
Unlike traditional accounting firms that center their work around compliance, Luke takes a planning-first approach, focusing on the gray areas where the tax code and financial planning intersect, and where structure and strategy drive outcomes. Rather than treating tax work as a commodity, he works with clients to develop integrated strategies that connect tax planning with broader financial decisions.
He works with a limited number of clients who are seeking a long-term advisory relationship and who value insight, clarity, and thoughtful decision-making over transactional services like tax preparation.

Our Approach
We set boundaries because they make us better advisors.
Many accounting firms answer every call. That's not a criticism; it's a pattern that's common in the industry. It also means reactive advice given between interruptions, which isn't the kind of advice that moves anyone's position forward.
Where We Are
Two advisory practices. One coordinated firm.
Virginia
Based in Roanoke, Virginia
If this sounds like the kind of firm you've been looking for, let's talk.
No pressure, no pitch. A short conversation to see if we're the right fit.
